Sometimes you just have to say Sod it, I’m going back to bed

So this week has felt very long with school being back and my son as lovely he can be decided that he would have two meltdowns, one only being his first day and on Thursday.

See my parenting blog:

So this morning at about 8:30am I just thought “I know I should get up, but sod it I’m going back to bed” only to hear “You gone back to bed?”, “What is that a crime or is this unusual to you, because you like to get up at 5am?”

Excuse me…

Parenting, working and travelling is tiring, and what, “So I am not allowed to be tired, what do you really want to wait until I am dead, where you’ll still be saying, “Its time to get up now?””

We all get tired and you just need that extra time, so I say fuck it, excuse my language, but lay in and have that time, who really feels that they have the right to say otherwise, we aren’t ever going to be remembered for the time we got up, but for living and so Sometimes you just have to say sod it I am going back to bed, and there ain’t nothing you can do about it.

I am up now, listening to some tunes and boy oh boy am I so thankful for my music as I have always used it as a way for communicating, especially when someone has pissed me off, and find it a way of sharing my feelings, without causing confrontation, even though I do get “Your shouting and how can you hear with your headphones on?”

I am like “Well first of all, you spoke to me and secondly I don’t want to” And it makes me want to get a great big speaker and blast it out, and say “Well you moan about my headphones and I want to listen to my music, so this is now my new option, either leave me be or your ears will get it instead”.

I have rarely had a chance before to have a lie in, so have done so this passed week, and no I don’t eel like I have wasted a day like I used to, as I can still catch up by going to bed late, as I find when I do this I sleep a whole lot better.

Lets face it there isn’t any lie in police, they have enough to worry about than arresting people for sleeping in, as being a working mum there is so much to do, that having an extra hours sleep is often required and no I am not going to apologise for that. As Bon Jovi, the bad I will always like to see in concert no matter what financial situation I am in, “It’s my life, its not older never” and if it is going to stop me from being cranky then so be it I’ll do it everyday from now on.

So if you wish to have an extra bit of sleep then I say go for it, and you can always deal with errands and chores on another day.
